Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

When it comes to making delicious macaroni and cheese, every step matters. Start by salting your water generously. Yes, make it salty. Cook your pasta to al dente, meaning it's tender but still has a slight bite. This prevents it from becoming mushy as it finishes cooking in the oven.

Shredding your cheese from a block is worth the extra effort for that indulgently cheesy finish. Freshly shredded cheese melts beautifully, creating a creamy, texture that elevates this already amazing dish. If you prefer the convenience of pre-packaged shredded cheese, go for it - it's all about what works best for you. The true flavors lie in the balance of flavors and textures you create.
